"Check in was super smooth and we were greeted is a very friendly way. The room was great—yes it’s dated as many reviewers post, but no complaints about that here. They are spotlessly clean and comfortable and close to everything in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. I appreciated the numbered parking spaces coinciding with the rooms so we never have to wonder if we will have parking close by. We would absolutely stay here again."

"10/10 – Wonderful Stay! Highly Recommend! We visited during peak fall season, and despite the hotel being completely booked, we were pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and quiet it was! Our room was exceptionally clean and cozy, and we slept better here than at any hotel we’ve stayed at recently. The on-site restaurant was excellent! I highly recommend the breakfast buffet or enjoying a quiet dinner. With temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s, we even enjoyed the pool and hot tub! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the hotel also offers convenient on-site washers and dryers and a clean fitness room. My favorite part was the location! Easy access to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor without being right in the middle of all the noise and crowds."
